I don’t often get a chance to watch “Live with Kelly and Michael” (or any other daytime TV, for that matter), but I have found myself drawn to the recent drama surrounding the show.
For the uninitiated, it all began when network higher-ups decided to move “Live” co-host Michael Strahan to a full-time gig on Good Morning America. Apparently he has been making regular guest appearances there for a while, and ABC is hoping his regular presence will help boost lagging ratings for GMA.
The problem? Senior “Live” co-host Kelly Ripa, who has been with the show since 2001, wasn’t looped in on Strahan’s upcoming move until mere minutes before the news was made public.
Oops.
